Not Beige, Not Milky—I’ve Discovered the Most Stylish Neutral Manicure for Fall.

      We all know that when it comes to nail trends, neutral shades are unbeatable, especially during the autumn season. From deep nudes to chocolate brown polishes, there are numerous luxurious options available. However, if you're looking to switch things up while staying within your preferred muted color scheme, I believe I've discovered the most stylish neutral manicure for the upcoming season. As someone who tracks nail trends professionally, I anticipate that mauve nails will make a significant resurgence this autumn. Although this greyish-brownish-purple shade is not new, we saw it take a backseat this summer to trending neutral styles like milky nails and "soft serve" nails. Yet this autumn, I expect that people will be drawn to slightly deeper tones, and mauve is definitely the way to achieve a chic finish. If you need more persuasion, take a look at some of these elegant mauve manicures below.
